    If the only thing you see is that it looks a little thinner, you've got nothing to worry about.

    Though you say they are receiving the same amount of water, watering sufficiently is where I would start.

    If one of the plants has recently been replaced, it may require more water to become established.

    Here is a link about Pindo Palm care.

    Since the problems started soon after planting the palm you may consider how it was planted. Was it placed in the soil at the same level it was growing in the container? How is your soil? Your Pindo Palm needs good well draining soil. Is it receiving adequate water? Or is it over watered?
    A good quality fertilizer is important. They should be fertilized during growth periods with a slow release fertilizer. Keep fertilizer 2 feet away from the trunk so that it does not get burned.

    I have listed a link about the Pindo Palm and it required care.

    Regular maintenance of browning leaves is not uncommon, remove those but do not remove green fronds.

    A regular fertilizer schedule may improve the palms health. Use a fertilizer that is formulated for Palms. Look for a ratio of 8-4-12 and follow the application directions. A good schedule is 2 to 3 applications between spring and fall. Sprinkle it around the palm and water in.

    Verify that the soil is well draining.
    Water when the top 3 inches of soil is dry and water deeply. Use a soaker hose or a slow hose and water in a circle extending out 4 ft in a circle around the base of the palm.
    Soggy soil will cause the palm to suffer root rot.

    It may certainly have spines along both edges of the leaf stems.

    The best fertilizer would be one specially formulated for palms. These tend to have plenty of nitrogen, potassium, and magnesium, which are especially important to palms.

    This article has plenty of information on palm nutrition:

    This article describes one good fertilization schedule:
